I've heard from the actual person involved, I thought I'd pass on the
canonical version. Someone I used to work with at Schering-Plough found
himself (like many others in his position) out of a job in late October. He
had a previously scheduled trip to Florida the next day, and as he boarded
the plane, who should he see sitting in first class but Fred Hassan, the CEO
of Schering-Plough who'd helped engineer the deal with Merck?
As the chemist involved put it, "After quickly scanning to make sure there
wasn’t a body guard looking guy near him", he said "Hi, Fred!" Hassan
looked up and asked "Do I know you?" "Well," said the chemist, "no, probably
not, but I'm a medicinal chemist with Schering-Plough, and now Merck".
Hassan smiled and said "Great, so how are you?" The response, in a loud
voice, was "Well, I just got laid off!". He then walked on down to his seat
in coach, and heard Hassan saying something about being sorry about that.
And as he told me, he sat there in coach, smiling at the picture of Hassan
thinking about this irate ex-employee on the plane with him for the next 2
and a half hours. . . | px
